Context — Daniel’s Vision by the Tigris
12“Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
13However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.
14Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision concerns those days.”
15While he was speaking these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and became speechless. 16And suddenly one with the likeness of a man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and said to the one standing before me, “My lord, because of the vision, I am overcome with anguish, and I have no strength.Cross References

Daniel 10:14 Summary
This verse is telling us that the angel has come to explain to Daniel what will happen to the Jewish people in the future, specifically in the last days before Jesus returns. The angel is saying that the vision Daniel had is about these future events, and it's going to be an important message for God's people. This reminds us that God has a plan for His people, and He wants us to know about it, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:28, which tell us that God has good plans for those who love Him.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the phrase 'latter days' mean in Daniel 10:14?
The phrase 'latter days' refers to the end times or the last days before the return of Jesus Christ, as seen in other scriptures like Isaiah 2:2 and Ezekiel 38:16, which also speak of significant events occurring in the latter days.
Who is the 'your people' that the verse is referring to?
The 'your people' in Daniel 10:14 is likely referring to the Jewish people, as Daniel was a Jew and the vision concerns their future, similar to how the prophet Jeremiah spoke of the future of the Jewish people in Jeremiah 30:3.
Why did the angel come to explain the vision to Daniel?
The angel came to explain the vision to Daniel because Daniel had been praying and seeking understanding, and God had sent the angel in response to his prayers, as seen in Daniel 10:12, which says that Daniel's words were heard from the first day he purposed to understand and humble himself before God.
What is the significance of the vision concerning the latter days?
The vision concerning the latter days is significant because it provides insight into the future of God's people and the events that will occur before the return of Jesus Christ, serving as a reminder of God's sovereignty and plan for His people, as seen in Daniel 2:28 and Revelation 1:1.
Reflection Questions
- What does this verse reveal about God's plan for His people, and how can I apply this to my own life?
- How can I, like Daniel, humble myself before God and seek understanding of His plans and purposes?
- What are some ways that I can prepare myself for the events of the latter days, and how can I stay faithful to God in the face of uncertainty?
- How does this verse relate to other scriptures that speak of the end times, and what can I learn from these connections?
Gill's Exposition on Daniel 10:14
Now I am come to make thee to understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days,.... The contest being over with the prince of Persia, and having got an advantage, and carried his point in
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 10:14
Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Daniel 10:14
Now at last, with much ado, after the contest is over, I am come to give thee understanding touching all the purposes and providences of God relating to his church: this made amends for the delay; this was the comfortable effect of effectual fervent prayer; this was God’ s overflowing kindness to his servant Daniel, to certify him by so honourable a messenger as this, that God would not only give him the knowledge of the present times and dispensations towards his church and their enemies, but for a long time after, even four hundred and ninety years, to the coming of the Messias, as he did to David, . By which we learn this solemn truth, that God will never leave himself without witness to his people; but in the worst of times he will afford them sufficient discoveries of his care of them; as he did by this prophecy in those dark days.
Trapp's Commentary on Daniel 10:14
Daniel 10:14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision [is] for [many] days.Ver. 14. Now I am come.] As it were with weariness of flight. Comfort will come at length. In the latter days.] Toward the end of their state, and not long before the coming of the Messiah, who shall begin another age, and as it were a new world.
Ellicott's Commentary on Daniel 10:14
(14) The latter days.—Comp. Daniel 2:28; Daniel 8:17. The time is here more narrowly defined as “those days,” that is, the period when the vision of Daniel 11 shall receive its complete fulfilment. The “vision” is identical with “the thing” (Daniel 10:1), or “the vision” (Daniel 10:16). It must be carefully borne in mind that there is no reference to preceding visions, except so far as the revelation contained in Daniel 11 develops certain details of other visions.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Daniel 10:14
Verse 14. For yet the vision is for many days.] There are many things which remain yet to be revealed, and the time of their accomplishment is very distant.
Cambridge Bible on Daniel 10:14
14. And I am come to make thee understand, &c.] cf. Daniel 8:16, Daniel 9:22; also Daniel 9:23 b. what shall befall thy people in the end of the days] The sentence seems to be framed on the model of Gen 49:1. On the ‘end (a different word from that occurring in Daniel 8:17; Daniel 8:19) of the days,’ see on Daniel 2:28. Here the expression denotes the age of Antiochus Epiphanes. for there is yet a vision for the days] viz. the days just mentioned: a vision, relating to these, remains still to be told. Or, altering the point which indicates the article, for the vision is yet for (many) days: it relates to the ‘end of the days,’ not to the present; cf. Daniel 8:17 b, 26 b.
Barnes' Notes on Daniel 10:14
Now I am come to make thee understand ... - After these long delays, and after the arrangements have been made necessary to bring about the objects sought by your prayers.
Whedon's Commentary on Daniel 10:14
14. For yet the vision is for many days — R.V., “for the vision is yet for many days;” that is, the vision of victory for Israel and her complete deliverance from persecution and affliction reaches into the far distance.
